“Hmph, cheapskate!” Catherine muttered in a small voice, then coughed lightly twice to bring the awkward topic over, “Where did you take Sara to stay?”
“Royal Garden,” Darren replied.
Catherine’s mind searched for the address of Royal Garden, which seemed to be in another villa not far from her own, really wealthy and generous ah, but then it was relieved, Darren is such a big person, a villa and what to count.
Seeing Catherine’s thoughtful look, Darren smiled and said, “What! Are you wondering how much you should pay me? Here’s the deal, let’s go with the presidential standard room, three thousand a night.”
Catherine rolled her eyes and said in an unpleasant voice, “Okay, three thousand, three thousand! You’ve really fallen into the eyes of money!”
Darren nodded, pretending to think deeply and said, “Well, that’s three thousand a night, it seems to be quite profitable to rent a house.”
“I …” Catherine’s insides just had to be cranky enough to beat him up now, and although she knew Darren was joking, she couldn’t help but be more aggressive when she saw how he looked now.
“Do you think Lena is nice?” Darren asked in a turn of phrase, toward Catherine.
“What! Want you to control ah? We agreed that this is personal, the other party has no right to interfere!” Catherine thought about the way Darren had just counted the money with himself and said in an exasperated voice.
“Oh? When did it say that? How come I don’t know.” Darren spoke with a hint of wonder in his voice, as if the incident had never happened at all.
“Huh? This is what the two of us agreed on at the beginning, ah, why don’t you admit it now?”
“I don’t care, I don’t remember, just pretend it doesn’t exist.” Darren said lazily, not giving Catherine the slightest chance.
“I … you …” Catherine for such a rogue Darren, really no way at all, suddenly remembered, the two also signed a contract, it I knew you would deny it later, but it’s a good thing I signed a contract with you in the first place.”
“Oh? Is that so?” Darren asked with interest.
Catherine was a little vain when asked by Darren, this contract was offered by Darren to sign, at first she thought Darren was quite serious and looked at her family’s assets firmly, afraid that she would rob him of a penny.
“No matter who signed it, there is anyway, so please do not come to ask me such private questions in the future.” Catherine is also angry with herself because of Darren. Normally, she would not dare to talk to Darren like this, and she answered honestly to Darren’s questions.
Darren smiled to himself and did not reply, thinking in his heart, this little girl, now even thinking of threatening me with the contract, well, tomorrow I will put away your copy of the contract and see how you do.
Hey, how come I didn’t think of the contract earlier, if I thought of it earlier, maybe I wouldn’t have to be bullied by Darren.
Catherine thought Darren was bound by the contract, so she looked slightly pleased: “Yes, we should have been like the contract, each minding our own business. We …”
The words came out, Darren’s eyes immediately turned cold, his face was all smiles, the whole body filled with full of hostility, Catherine’s body involuntarily a shiver, hard to the lips of the words swallowed back.
“Oh? Who gave you the courage to say such words in front of me?” Darren’s thin lips opened and closed as he spat out a sentence without any emotion.
Catherine is a little scared, facing this state of Darren, for some reason, Catherine out of instinctive fear.
“I … I … I was wrong.” Catherine immediately went limp, she naturally knew in her heart that if she continued to say the consequences, in Darren’s words, she was disobeying his ideas, and then the next would be forced to correct himself or something, Catherine naturally did not want that, and had to concede.
“Can you answer my question now?” Darren asked with his face still unkind.
Catherine was so relieved to see that Darren was not pursuing the matter that she replied, “Yes.”
Catherine continued after a pause: “Lena, I think she is very good, and very concerned about me. Although it is true that Sophie did not do the right thing, but it is not her daughter’s business, she is still good at heart I think.”
Lena? The first thing you need to do is to get your hands on her.
As far as Darren knows, Lena is a scheming person, isn’t that what her mother Sophie is like? Although there is not enough evidence that Catherine’s mother was forced by her, but what else but her reason can make Catherine’s mother kill herself.
Darren is a little torn at this point, he wants to remind Catherine of something, but does not want to hurt the innocence of Catherine’s heart.
When Catherine saw Darren sitting there silent, she raised her eyes resentfully, and there was a lot of resentment in her eyes.
Hmph, just bullying a weak woman like me! Why don’t you go bully someone else!
Although she knew that Darren had a reason for asking, and that it was for her own good, the way he did it really irritated Catherine.
“Oh, I was just asking off the top of my head.” Darren finally decided not to tell Catherine, allowing her to continue with that childlike innocence of hers that Darren loves.
Inexplicably, Catherine thought in her mind, but her mouth replied, “Well, if you ask, just ask.”
But it’s not that Catherine is pleasing Darren, it’s that she’s really scared.
After hearing what Catherine said, Darren wanted to laugh a little, so the usually unafraid of the strong Miss Perry will also talk like this ah, it seems to be the future to talk to her like this, otherwise she really does not take himself seriously.
“What are you going to do about your mother?” Darren asked uneasily, and his face wasn’t so serious anymore, taking on a touch of tenderness.
He felt that this matter in Catherine’s heart like a hurdle, Catherine this kind of person is not offended by me, I do not offend, if people offend me, I will offend the kind, for her biological mother this matter how she can be relieved.
Catherine heard Darren’s words and felt a sense of melancholy in her eyes.
She didn’t know what she should do, the words were just like that, after so many years, how things were really going, except Sophie herself, who can say clearly?
Catherine let out a long breath and said with a sigh, “This matter has already passed, so don’t mention it again, let it dissipate with the wind.”
